The music video begins with a young girl of a rich family (played by model Monica Singh) impatiently trying to call her lover, who has accidentally put his phone on silent mode. We are taken to their younger days, where Aulakh be more open in showing their affection for his girlfriend. What follows is a display of small misunderstandings between the couple as they unfairly suspect each other of cheating on them. Though the matter has been shown in a humorous way, it actually points towards the lack of trust in most modern-day relationships. There are scenes where Monica suspects Aulakh waving to another woman from the balcony, while in another, Aulakh steps in front of Monica so that his friends know that she is his wife.
Coming to the music, it has more of a Punjabi bhangra beat rather than the conventional EDM or rap flavour that is usually associated with Aulakh’s songs. The lyrics are in Punjabi, and it adds the much- needed energy to the song. Presenting to us a new forms of cheesy love relationships, Mankirt Aulakh’s “Bas Kar” is a funny take on the other side of modern relationships (needed now that Valentine’s Day is only a couple of days away).
